Guyanese Authorities Informed of International Death Threat Against CANU Director

News

News Source Guyana Reports : Guyanese law enforcement has received information about a death threat against James Singh, the Director of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU). This threat was communicated to local authorities by international partners and is believed to originate from key drug traffickers in neighboring South America and the Caribbean.

The threat is thought to be linked to recent drug busts in Guyana that have disrupted significant trafficking operations. Singh confirmed that the threat has been taken seriously, noting that it poses a risk not only to him but also to the entire drug enforcement unit.

Reports suggest the threat may be connected to drug traffickers in Venezuela or Colombia. This information follows recent drug busts associated with cartels in those countries.

Guyana has been collaborating with the U.S. and other nations to combat drug trafficking. Recently, the U.S. government imposed sanctions on a senior Guyana Police Officer and two businessmen for their alleged roles in a South American drug trafficking network. While details of their involvement were released, local investigations have yet to result in arrests, though the senior officer has been placed on administrative leave.
